1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Now that we�ve look briefly at cabling
2
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
I�d like to explain how network devices operate.
3
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
And the first device that we're going to look at is hub
4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
a hub is a layer 1 device in the OSI model and you would use a Cat5
5
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
unshielded twisted pair cable with an RJ-45 connector
6
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000
to connect your laptop as an example to a port on a hub.
7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000
hubs aren't very popular today and have been superseded by
8
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
switches and I'll explain in a few minutes why.
9
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
But for now lets assume that you are connecting your PC to a hub.
10
10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
It�s important that you understand how a hub operate
11
11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
however because wireless operates in the same way, like a physical hub would.
12
12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So when your connected to a wireless network you�ll often encounter
13
13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
the same issues that you would encounter when connecting to a physical hub.
14
14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,000
So for now lets assume that you are connecting your PC physically to a hub
15
15
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
hubs have multiple ports and thus multiple devices
16
16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,000
can be connected to a hub at the same time.
17
17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
The number of ports available depends on the hub model
18
18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000
but as you can see in both of this examples
19
19
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
a hub has various ports that you can connect devices to.
20
20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,000
So in this topology let�s assume that you have 4 devices connected to a hub
21
21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
on ports 1 to 4, it's important to realize that a hub is a physical layer device.
22
22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
It�s not intelligent and does not understand the frames going through it.
23
23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000
It's basically a multi port repeater and it will amplify
24
24
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
or repeat the frames that it receives on 1 port out of all other ports.
25
25
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So it's once again simply a multi port repeater with no intelligence.
26
26
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,000
The physical topology of a hub is a star topology.
27
27
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
In a star topology you have a central device
28
28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
which in this case is a hub and devices hanging off that central device
29
29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
as spokes which resemble the spokes in the bicycle wheel.
30
30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Each spoke devices connected to the central device with its own cable and all
31
31
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
transmission or communications between devices are through the central device.
32
32
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:30,000
In other words if A wants to communicate with C the traffic will flow
33
33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,000
through the hub and will not flow directly between the 2 devices.
34
34
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,000
There were some major advantages to using hubs and UTP rather than 10base2.
35
35
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
The first advantage is a cable break, if a cable broke in this topology
36
36
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
it would only affect device A and it would not affect the rest of the network.
37
37
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
In a 10base2 if a cable broke it would affect all devices in that network.
38
38
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Here however, other devices such as C and B can still communicate
39
39
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
even though the cable is broken to device A.
40
40
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Another advantages that you can extend distances easily.
41
41
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
A bus topology is limited in size in a 10baseT environment
42
42
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
such as this, the distance between a device such as A and the hub
43
43
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
needs to be 100 meters but you can extend the distance by adding another hub.
44
44
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
In other words you add another multiple repeater and repeat or regenerate
45
45
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
the signal to extend the distance of the network to distances greater than 100 meters.
46
46
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,000
So in this example, E could be 100 meters away from its hub
47
47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
and the 2 hubs could be 50 meters apart.
48
48
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
So in this example we've extended the network
49
49
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
further than the restriction of a 100 meters.
50
50
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
So device E could be 100 meters from its hub
51
51
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
it could be a cable length a 50 meters between the 2 hubs
52
52
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
and A could be a 100 meters away from its hub.
53
53
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
A network now has a length of 250 meters
54
54
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
which is well over the limitation of a 100 meters.
55
55
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Now their are restriction on the number of hubs
56
56
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
that you can daisy chain together, but the point is, it's possible
57
57
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:17,000
to extend the topology by adding more hubs and more devices to the network.
58
58
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
These were therefore great reasons to move away from 10base2
59
59
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000
and 10base5 and implement UTP or untwisted pair networks using hubs.
60
60
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Another advantage is that UTP cabling is cheaper and easier to manage
61
61
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
and therefore it became common to use
62
62
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
hubs and 10baseT rather than 10base2 or 10base5 in the past.
